Chapter 301: Archangel (1/2)
Tang Shaoyang let out mocking laughter at the answer after hearing the last one. Gut feeling, that was the last thing he would believe.
He would rather have Lunea give him absurd reasoning like seeing the future. He could not confirm both theories but he would rather believe the latter than the former. Especially after their past event.
”I know you can never trust me again after what my friends did to you, not like I can oppose them for not doing that. However, I am being sincere this time, I wish you can save me,” Lunea perfectly understood the opposite party's physiology after the Gods tried to trick and hunt him down.
If this was between him and Lunea only, he would decline her offer. He did not care how beautiful and stunning she was, he would refuse the oath. However, Rumru was connected to this, the chance of getting the Dragon's loyalty was much more important than this Goddess's life.
”Last question, how can I save you?” This was the most important part, ”Do we need to sign a slave contract?” He thought by bringing Lunea to his world might avoid her disaster.
”No! As I said, once those madmen violate the System's regulation, the System will freeze us. And since I am someone with authority, you can't bring me with you to your world, not until our world gets connected officially, by the game,” Lunea explained again, but the more she explained, the more confused Tang Shaoyang was.
”So, how do I save you?” Tang Shaoyang repeated the question and Lunea immediately responded by shaking her head, ”You… Don't know too?” And the Goddess of Love nodded in response.
”Oh, another reason why I choose you is that I believe you will get your own authority sooner or later. You have a Dragon Bloodline, that's another point,” Lunea added.
”That does not help, at all,” Tang Shaoyang massaged his forehead, ”Maybe you can save me with your authority,” she added again.
This was a gamble, but again, he was willing to gamble if Rumru agreed. He owed the Dragon for giving his life and also bloodline for him, he thought this should be enough to pay what he owed to Rumru.
'What do you think?' He asked the Dragon despite knowing the answer. He just wanted the last push from the Dragon to wash his hesitation. Again, he got nothing to lose in this gamble.
—If you ask me, my answer will be Yes. But I will leave everything on your call. In the end, our exchange–
The Dragon had not finished his words as Tang Shaoyang responded to Lunea, ”Let's make the deal!”

He did not know how many times he had made an oath and contract. It was not that too many that he lost count of it, but he just did not bother with it so much. He took a promise seriously, and he regarded the oath as a promise so he was not that worried.
After they made the oath, Lunea immediately disappeared and the time resumed. It was as if meeting with her never happened. The beastmen and his two spirits were not aware of the meeting.
'This is kinda weird…' he thought to himself. He just could not get used to this, a little bit uncomfortable with the time stop.
On top of that, the tension he had built up also disappeared. The anger and rage had calmed down after his talk with Lunea.
”Those Gods want to catch me with their hands, let's wrap this up quick…” He muttered in a low voice as he glanced at the seven knights.
Swoosh!
